Book Synopsis
Focuses on Philip Guston's controversial figurative paintings of the late 1960s and 1970s. This title looks at the early critical reception of these works to see what the artist was actually doing and, at another level, to investigate the odd alchemy of artists and their audiences. It deals with Guston's complicated relationship to Judaism.
